Kerby Anderson As we all know, this country is carrying a national debt of $36 trillion. The Bible warns us about debt. Proverbs 22:7 says, “The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is a servant to the lender.” We need to do something rather than ignoring our debt problem. Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) has proposed that the US put together a bitcoin strategic reserve. She has introduced the BITCOIN Act in the last session of Congress and will…

Kerby Anderson Now that we are in the last month of the year, let me recommend what you may want to plan to do in 2025. I would recommend you read through the Bible in one year. Here are two resources from Pastor Jack Graham that will help you do that. First, he is the author of the new book, The Jesus Book. He provides ten chapters that will help you read through the Bible. He begins by helping us…

Penna Dexter Many times, over the past decade or so, I have muttered under my breath: “The Emperor Has No Clothes.”  The phrase of course is from Hans Christian Anderson’s tale, “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” in which dishonest “tailors” provide a vain king with garments, clothes that don’t actually exist. The swindlers explain that they are weavers of fabric that would be “invisible to anyone who was unfit for his office, or who was unusually stupid.” Naturally, the king buys…

Kerby Anderson A book I have been reading by Mitchell Askew has a chapter with the arresting title, “Fiat Money Destroyed the Nuclear Family.” It is a reminder of the devastating social effects from the economy due to the decreasing value of the dollar. A nuclear family consists of a father, mother, and children. The family is the foundation of society. He argues that the rise of fiat currency has weakened the nuclear family. And he also acknowledges there are…

Kerby Anderson Each year, we take time from our busy lives to celebrate a day of Thanksgiving. Though many holidays have become secular celebrations, this holiday still retains much of its historic religious overtones. A day of Thanksgiving was set aside by the Pilgrims who founded Plymouth Colony. Life was hard in the New World. Half of the Pilgrims died in the first terrible winter. After the first harvest was completed, Governor William Bradford proclaimed a day of Thanksgiving and…

Kerby Anderson Thanksgiving is tomorrow, and I suspect that you are doing lots of things to get ready for this special day. Let me suggest you add one more item to your to-do list. Visit our website and download a copy of my Thanksgiving Quiz. Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to gather as a family, but I also believe it can be a great time to teach our children and grandchildren about America’s godly heritage. I created this short quiz…

Kerby Anderson Earlier this month, Dominic Pino wrote about “Milton Friedman’s Revenge.” His argument was that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris got the economic policy they wanted and the voters hated. It’s worth looking back to understand why the election went the way it did. Milton Friedman was an economist best known for saying that inflation is “always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon.” He believed that inflation occurs when the money supply increases faster than output. Four years ago, candidate…

Kerby Anderson Donald Trump hasn’t even been sworn into office, and yet governors in blue states and the legacy media are already criticizing a deportation program that hasn’t even begun. Unfortunately, some of the comments aren’t merely hostile but grossly inaccurate. If we are going to have a worthwhile debate about deportation, then let’s get accurate facts on the table. First, Tom Homan, the newly designated “border czar,” has made his three-step process very clear. The primary focus will be…

Penna Dexter Speaking last month before the United Nations General Assembly, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas warned that he intends to submit documents to start the process of expelling Israel from the United Nations. His reason? Israel’s refusal to cede its territory to create a Palestinian state. U.S. Senator Ted Cruz, discussing the threat on his podcast Verdict, said if Israel is removed from membership, the United States may, itself, withdraw from the U.N. Senator Cruz says, “If the U.N. expels…

Kerby Anderson Next week is Thanksgiving week. But many Americans are dreading the annual ritual of gathering families together because of the 2024 election. You might hope that the shock, grief, and anger would subside after this election, but this post-election distress continues. CBS did a story on “Post-election Emotions.” It offered expert tips and resources to manage a person’s mental health after the 2024 elections. Liberal women say it is “time to learn from the Koreans and adopt the…

Kerby Anderson Chuck Bentley is the CEO of Crown Financial and the host of the daily radio broadcast, My MoneyLife. He was on my radio program last week to talk about this question he received from a listener: “I am really concerned with what Elon Musk said about America heading toward bankruptcy. Do you think there is anything we need to do if he turns out to be correct?” Elon Musk has said this on a recent All-In Summit hosted…
